I have an Acer Airkey which I really like

It has a range up to 30 feet and works really well in my experience.
I've had it for about a year and a half. The only issue is that you have
to have line of sight to its receiver. It has built-in mouse
functionality with two buttons and a circular pad which you control with
your thumb. Its a little hard to control at first but you get used to it
after awhile :) Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're looking for
or not.
Hope that helps,
Eric
